High Court to Hear Case
Of Reverse Discrimination

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court agreed to decide whether a federal law protecting older workers also may be used by younger workers to bring charges of reverse discrimination.

The case involving the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act was brought by workers between ages 40 and 50 who weren't given the same health benefits in an early-retirement package as to workers over 50. The ADEA covers workers over age 40.
